Needs an eval: I find it unlikely the kid would have CD at 1 yr but it can happen.As a lifelong label with important implications (risks of other diseases) it requires a thorough basic evaluation.This would also include initial blood screening tests for tissue transglutaminase IgA & an IgA level.To be accurate the kid would need to ingest a gluten for the 3 wks prior to testing. A biopsy to confirm is standard
